Supergirl fans' favorite ship hasn't sunk just yet.
Fans of Sanvers, the relationship between Alex Danvers and Maggie Sawyer on The CW series, were distressed at the news that Florian Lima, Maggie's actress, would not be a series regular in Supergirl's third season.
The good news is that the Supergirl writers don't seem to be planning to kill Maggie off, and have left the door open for Maggie to return whenever Lima has the time.
"Maggie is welcome to come back any time she's free," executive producer Jessica Queller tells Entertainment Weekly. "We love Sanvers and we're very sad that Floriana is not available full time this season."
"We love this relationship we've created," added executive producer Robert Rovner. "With that, we're going to be telling a modern day love story that really honors their relationship that hopefully will resonate and I think will be very satisfying. Hopefully, she will come join us [again]. The door is always open for Floriana Lima."
SUPERGIRL is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El, Superman's (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents' help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex, and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later at 24, Kara lives in National City assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant. She works alongside her friend and IT technician Winn Schott and famous photographer James Olsen, who Grant just hired away from the Daily Planet to serve as her new art director. However, Kara's days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw, head of a super-secret agency where her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime.
Supergirl stars Melissa Benoist as Kara Zor-El/Kara Danvers/Supergirl, Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers, Mehcad Brooks as Jimmy Olsen/Guardian, David Harewood as J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter, and Jeremy Jordan as Winslow "Winn" Schott, Jr.
Based on the characters from DC Comics by special arrangement with the Jerry Siegel family, Supergirl is produced by Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, Ali Adler, Sarah Schechter and Robert Rovner.
